Message: [QUOTE="AllHusky, post: 5184995, member: 6498"] I really admire the touch that Hurley and staff has shown with developing and playing Ball, Ross, Mahaney and Stewart. How many folks were really down on Solo because of his D and lack of interest in getting to the rim. Yes, he sure had a great game last night, but all things point to that being the tip of the iceberg. Staff was patient and kept the mirror in front of his face. Rebounding, dribble drives, and improving D to go with his shooting are almost shocking. Who'd have thought we would actually be pleased with Jaydens ball handing and initiating the offense to go with the kind of defensive game he had. He is a 15 point game away from nightmare for opposing coaches. Listening to board trying to explain Jaylins game is interesting. Lack of conditioning is hard to believe at this point, but maybe. Maybe that start he had scared him. "Wow, do they expect me to keep doing that stuff?" You know the whole staff is reinforcing their belief that Jaylin is that guy we saw early on last night. Hurley has alot of belief in Mahaney, and will not hesitate to pull him when he doesn't live up to that belief. I don't think you'll have to wait for next year to see Mahaney make the kind of contributions in big games that he came here to do, The staffs fingerrints are all over these kids. Their faith in their players along with their ability to teach, motivate and inspire self confidence is something to see. Glad the staff wasn't betting the way alot of the Yard was last night.
